Aims & Rationale
• To design a space for civic discourses &
community engagement
• To facilitate a contact zone for learning
and grappling with diverse literacy
practices & values
• To encourage active learning
![Page 3: Engaging Stories: Creating an Ethnographic Literacy Narrative Project in First-Year Writing](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a84d8c1a28ab5b708b4756/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Literacy Narratives
• Understanding reading & composing as
situated practices & values
• From the DALN:
"Literacy narratives are powerful rhetorical linguistic accounts through which people fashion their lives and make sense of their world, how they construct the realities in which they live.”

The HUMN Project
![Page 8: Engaging Stories: Creating an Ethnographic Literacy Narrative Project in First-Year Writing](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a84d8c1a28ab5b708b4756/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Pedagogical Objectives
• Create opportunities for conversations
where inclusion, access, and students’
relationship to writing are central concerns
• Guide students to think critically and
rhetorically about how their literacy
practices have served their own
developments
• Hands-on research appropriate for FYW
![Page 9: Engaging Stories: Creating an Ethnographic Literacy Narrative Project in First-Year Writing](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032421/55a84d8c1a28ab5b708b4756/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Learning Objectives for Students
• Examine literacy practices as critical acts
of inquiry
• Study the cultural influences that shape
individuals’ identities as learners
• Examine the literate lives of those who are
students and not students
• Develop a sense of narrative agency

Learning Objectives for the Instructor
• Explore patterns of local literacies and
literacy histories
• Reflect on the influences, people, and
values that shape literacy practices
• Learn how to instruct and execute a
collaborative project that serves the
students’ pedagogical needs
